Yeah, heaven forbid someone have a differing opinion from yours about the best approach to reducing rape. I'm sorry you need a safe space.

lol

I got a good laugh out of this.

so the advice you gave to your son was "don't drive alone with guys or go back to their apartments after drinking"?

No more like don't flash money, walk on a certain side of the street, don't buy drugs on the corner., Stuff that could maybe facilitate something bad happening to him by a bad person. I also told my daughter when she started driving to park near the front door of the store, under the brightest light, and to drive to the police station or call them and not get out of her locked car if she was in a fender bender. None of that implied that whatever happened to her if she didn't take precautions was her fault.

What would be wrong is a defendant using the behavior of a victim to successfully beat the case and avoid just punishment. It is not wrong to try to teach your children to protect themselves simply because some lawyers and misogynistic judges and juries have used possibly self endangering behavior of the victim to simply get the perpetrator off the hook. Two very different issues that get illogically linked.

Your joke is also not funny because Giants have won 3 World Series since 2010.

Yeah, true, being a life long White Sox fan, I was just looking to take a shot at Cubs fans and I messed up.

Like the little kid who tells his teacher that he is a Cubs fan because his parents are, and the teacher tells him you can't do everything just because his parents do it, what if your mom was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict. The kid naturally responds, "well then i'd probably be a Sox fan".

I prefer this one:


Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Cubs fans are gay men.

As long as you throw in a "lol repubtards" or "white people are stupid" every couple of posts you will be fine ITF

It's also also not funny because the whole punchline of the joke is that it's demeaning to be called gay.

If you say a woman is 40-50% weaker than a man in the upper body this is fine.
If you say that men completely dominate enrollment in engineering departments is because men genetically are much better at abstract visual spatial skills then you are a raging sexist and need to check your privilege.

You don't need to check your privilege. The problem is that as an engineer who has worked with a lot of female engineers I know the second part is just incorrect.

We don't need you to be wrong about that to call you a raging sexist. You are wrong of course, like you always are, but you're just running up the score at this point.

I think the people who say that are just dumb. It should be obvious that these are totally different. In athletics women flat out can't compete against men and compete only against themselves. In math/science/engineering women have won Fields Medals and Nobel Prizes, gotten tenure at top schools, been highly cited indicating that they are clearly world class among everybody and not just women.

bell curve? is that a thing. what do you think about this statement statically men are much better at visual spatial as shown in every study and are thus more likely to be better at engineering, in a world with 1 billion women living in places where they can get higher education you are gonna get some very good female engineers

Women 70-80% of psyc departments, perfectly normal
Men 65-75% of engineering departments, sexist and needs to be changed

does this make sense to anybody????

Hey guys, you know how women do better than men in math?

Maybe it's because men are an inferior species. Just asking questions here.

are women better than men at math? past junior high this is not true. Should've used language skills which is actually true

does math make one superior or inferior? I don't understand why its not ok to say that men and women are clearly different in many ways.

Saying men and women have different physiological abilities=ok
saying men and women have different mental abilities=raging sexist
saying men and women have different wants and needs=raging sexist
if one field is dominated by women = radio silence
if one field is dominated by men = sexism
couldn't be that in general men and women are different, like different things, and are better at different things

this is the leftist line right?

I'm sure it has nothing at all to do with women being excluded from STEM fields for most of human history.

Why don't we see individual women who can play in the NBA or even division I college? What we have in engineering is women who not only play in the NBA but win MVP awards. Its pretty obvious you don't understand what "bell curve" even means.

The Dutch are snooty. There I said it.

I'll take that a step further

sure thats why women are also 60% of university students rn right? because they've been exluded for most of history

men have been excluded form biology and psychology for most of history thats why women dominate this field right?

that assertion is wrong with any basic logic.

in engineering less women win mvp awards, and less women compete, smaller % of women do this activity this is just a difference in degree from nba. In the NBA the top of the woman's curve doesn't even touch nba standards, womens curve in engineering is far closer to men.

the % women/population who want to go into engineering and who can succeed in engineering less than men, nothing about that statement precludes brilliant women in the field.

Calling it a difference of degree is ludicrous. There are women out there as good as the best men! The curves don't just touch, they overlap so much that 7 sigma women are as good as 7 sigma men. That should cause you (well not you, somebody who knows what they are talking about) to question whether differences exist at all.

why do women dominate men in psychology?

also thats clearly not true lol, there are a few women at the top of the profession but men dominate women especially at the top (esp since men in general have higher variance in ability), just look at noble prizes, fields medals, any type of prize such as this. No one is saying any particular woman can't be as good as any man, theres nothing precluding a woman from being many std deviations above the curve in height and strength and competing in the NBA doesn't change anything.

men performing better and being more represented in a field=sexist
women performing better and being more represented=???

they don't...and you really think women's brains are inherently better at studying psychology?

There are only a few men that do that also. Again, you don't really seem to get the bell curve. The average women and average man are about the same, and the top women are pretty much as good as the top men. It takes a ton of fine tuning to think that there are major differences between men and women.

I certainly am. No women ever will be able to compete for medals in Olympic sprinting with men. People thought that about math as recent as 50 years ago and they were just wrong.

More like saying dumb stuff= Dumb
